Tamron 50-400mm f/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD Lens for Nikon Z

The Tamron 50-400mm f/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD Lens for Nikon Z is a groundbreaking ultra-telephoto zoom lens that offers outstanding versatility, sharp optical performance, and advanced autofocus in a surprisingly compact design. Designed for Nikon Z-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras, it delivers an 8x zoom range that starts at a useful 50mm and stretches all the way to 400mm—covering everything from standard to super-telephoto in one lens.

At 50mm, this lens performs well for portraits, street, and documentary work. Zoom out to 400mm, and you’re ready for distant wildlife, sports, or compressed landscape shots. This broad focal range makes it an ideal single-lens solution for travel and outdoor photography. Despite its long reach, the lens remains portable, weighing approximately 1,155 grams (2.55 pounds) and measuring just 183.4mm (7.2 inches) in length.

The autofocus is powered by Tamron’s high-speed VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor. It delivers fast, quiet, and accurate focus tracking—ideal for both photography and video. Built-in VC (Vibration Compensation) image stabilization helps reduce blur from camera shake, especially useful when shooting handheld at long focal lengths or in lower light.

Optical performance is enhanced by a precision-engineered design that includes XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion) and LD (Low Dispersion) elements. These components minimize chromatic aberration and maintain clarity and detail from edge to edge. Even at 400mm, images remain sharp, with vibrant color and good contrast.

The lens features moisture-resistant construction and a fluorine-coated front element, making it well-suited for outdoor and rugged environments. A zoom lock switch prevents lens creep during transport, and a customizable focus set button allows quick access to user-defined functions.

Whether you’re shooting landscapes, wildlife, action, or travel scenes, the Tamron 50-400mm f/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD offers flexibility and performance in one convenient package. It’s a smart choice for photographers looking to reduce gear without compromising image quality or reach.
